television or no sound coming from my television?
A: This problem may have several causes. Please check the following items:

1) Please ensure that you have selected the correct AV source on your television

set.

2) Please check that you have connected the correct cable for the output of the

video and audio signals. Information on the correct connection of the Player to
your home entertainment system can be found in the " Connection of TV audio
and video output " chapter in the basic operation instructions.

3) When the player is connected to HDMI or optical ,please choose the correct

option in Setup menu. You can also refer to Audio Settings in Setup Menu
chapter.

Repeat this procedure until the picture is correctly displayed on your television.

Q: My Player is connected correctly to my television. I can no longer see my media files
in the browser or they are only partially listed in the "Browser".
A: A special media filter is active if you press one of four keys ( as ALL, MUSIC, PHOTO,
MOVIES )on the remote control. Only media files that correspond to the active media
filter are displayed on your television.
If you select e.g. the media filter "Music ", no picture files are shown in the browser. If
you want to see all supported media files, please choose the media filter "All ".
a) Unsupported format.
Your Player supports a great variety of media file formats, a detailed list can be found at
the end of these instructions. If you try to play a file that uses an unsupported file format,
a message will be displayed. If you want to check the utilized audio and video format for
a media file, you can refer to “specification” chapter.
b) The chosen media source is not connected to the PLAYER
If you select a media source that is not currently connected to the Player, such as a
USB stick, this source will be displayed as empty. As soon as a device is connected, the
content appears in the respective path.
If no folders or files are displayed for a resource connected via the network, check the
settings for your network and your network shares. Please check the user name and

47

password, if they are required for accessing, and also the firewall settings of your
computers.

Q: I want to copy files onto an external data storage device with my Player, but I always
get an error message.
A: To use the copy function of your Player, the device (or the partition), that you want to
copy the data onto, must be formatted with one of the following file systems: FAT,
FAT32, NTFS, ext3. Please use only targets formatted with FAT, FAT32, NTFS or ext3
for copying onto.

Q: I want to perform a firmware update for my Player but my television goes blank.
A: In some cases, the display via HDMI is not correct during a firmware update.
Please make sure that your Player is also connected to your television via the
composite video connection during the firmware update, not only via HDMI, and select
the composite video input as the active input of your television.

Q: I want to access files with the Player that I have shared in my network. My home
network is working correctly, but the Player does not list the files.
A: If you do not have access to the shared files, please check the following points:
a) Check if the network cable is connected properly at both sides, i.e. to the Player and

to your network.

b) Make sure that the computer that you want to access is running and not in a standby

or idle mode.
c) Check the network and file sharing settings on your computer.
d) Check that you have entered the correct user name and password. Please note that

they are case sensitive.
e) Make sure that your firewall settings permit the Player to access your computer.
f) If you want to access files that are stored on a USB data storage device which is

connected to a router and thus made available as network storage, please note that

you must set up a connection to the drive using "My_ Shortcuts ". To do so, you must

enter the IP address of your router as well as the user name and the password

necessary to access the network storage.

Q: How is it possible that the playback of a file from a shared folder in the network is
aborted?
A: The energy saving settings of the computer or the NAS interrupt the connection.
If the energy saving settings of your computer or your NAS are active, then they can go
into an idle state or a sleep mode even though they are being accessed via the network.
During a sleep mode no data is transferred via the network. Please adjust the energy
saving settings of the media source so that it does not go into a sleep mode while you
play files via the network.

Q: Why is it possible that there are interruptions when playing movies from my local
network?
A: Sometimes, there are several devices in a network that have to share the maximum
data transfer rate possible via a network connection (shared medium). If there are
several connections active in the network you use the Player in (e.g. to the internet, a
shared printer, etc.), it is possible that this lowers the data transfer rate available for the
streaming of the data to the Player to a level that is insufficient for the playback of e.g. a
DVD file or an HD movie file. Should you experience such problems, please try to
reduce the amount of data transferred by other users of your network.

Q: While using the Player, it no longer responds to my commands.
A: This problem may have several causes. Please check the following items:
a) Please aim the remote control in the direction of the Player so that direct visual

contact between these two devices exists and ensure that the infrared receiver of
the remote control and the Player are not covered.

b) Check the battery in the remote control and, if necessary, replace it with a new

one.

Q: I have connected the Player to my TV via HDMI and I want to change the video
output signal, but the video output resolution I want to use is not available.
A: This problem may have several causes. Please check the following items:

Go to the settings menu of your Player and select "HDMI Auto " under the menu item

49

"TV system ". Your Player will try to automatically select the best possible video output
resolution for your TV.

2).In some rare cases it is possible that not all options supported by the TV are
selectable. This problem can occur when the TV is switched on from its standby mode,
regardless of the current operating status of the PLAYER
In order to be able to select all video output resolutions supported by your TV,
disconnect your Player from the power supply and reconnect it after a few seconds.
Now all available video output resolutions are shown in the settings menu.

Please select the correct digital output mode in the Setup Menu. Go to the audio
settings menu and select the menu entry "Digital-Audio -Out " and choose the option
"HDMI LPCM/RAW" if your television set does not support real surround sound. You
can also refer to the Audio Settings.

Q: Why mustn't I disconnect the Player from the mains supply without having switched
it off beforehand?

the Player is turned on or off. If the player is disconnected from the mains supply
